About yachts in the United Arab Emirates
The yacht market of the United Arab Emirates is concentrated in Dubai, where most of the listings here are lying. Dubai Harbour is home to the Dubai International Boat Show, now held in late November to meet the start of the cruising season. The yachting year here runs the other way to the Mediterranean's, with the cooler months from autumn to spring as the season. The fleet is mostly in the twenties and thirties of metres, from Sanlorenzo, Majesty, Numarine, Princess and Sunreef.

Buying in the United Arab Emirates
- VAT and tax
- The United Arab Emirates is not in the EU. Its standard VAT rate is 5% as at September 2026, administered by the Federal Tax Authority. Whether a yacht bought or kept in the UAE attracts import duty or VAT depends on its flag, its use and where it clears customs, so the position is complex and is settled case by case with the relevant authorities. Read our VAT and tax guide
- Flag and registration
- In Dubai, pleasure craft are licensed by the Dubai Maritime Authority, with a licence valid for one year and renewed annually, insurance, and a marina contract; the other emirates have their own authorities. Marinas handle much of the paperwork for visiting foreign-flagged yachts: Dubai Harbour offers sailing permit assistance and NOC requests, and Yas Marina in Abu Dhabi offers foreign flag vessel clearance and regulatory support.
- Berths
- Dubai Harbour, the region's largest marina, has 705 berths and takes superyachts up to 160 metres in its dedicated Bay Marina; Yas Marina in Abu Dhabi has 227 wet berths for yachts from 8 to 175 metres; Mina Rashid Marina in Dubai has a superyacht basin for yachts over 100 metres. Winter is the main berthing season, when cruising conditions are at their best.
- Refit and survey
- Gulf Craft's Superyacht Service Centre in Ajman is a purpose-built service, maintenance and refit facility for vessels up to 60 metres, and the builder's main yard at Umm Al Quwain builds yachts up to 175 feet. Gulf Craft also runs a Maldives yard for maintenance and repairs on vessels up to 30 metres.
- When to view
- The UAE season runs through the cooler months, with Yas Marina presenting winter as the ideal time for cruising and the setting for the Formula 1 season finale at Yas Marina Circuit. The Dubai International Boat Show has moved permanently to November, with the 2026 edition at Dubai Harbour from 25 to 29 November, timed for the start of the region's main boating season.

Questions buyers ask
How does VAT work on a yacht bought in the UAE?
The UAE has its own VAT, at five per cent, and it is outside the European Union, so EU VAT does not arise while a yacht stays here. If she is later to be used in the Mediterranean by an EU resident, her EU VAT position has to be settled on import, so it is worth knowing her status and her flag before an offer. Take specialist advice on both before you commit.
When is the best time to view a yacht in Dubai?
Between late autumn and spring. That is the cruising season, crews are aboard and a sea trial can be run in comfortable conditions. In high summer the heat makes a long sea trial and a hull inspection out of the water hard work for everyone involved, so if a purchase has to happen then, allow more time for the survey and plan the trial for early morning.
Do I need a survey and a sea trial?
On any yacht that has been in the water, yes. A survey establishes the condition of the hull, the machinery and the systems, and a sea trial shows how she actually behaves at operating speed and at anchor. Offers are normally made subject to both, so the findings can be discussed before anything is final. On a yacht in build the equivalent is the yard's own sequence of inspections and the handover trials at the end of it.
How does buying a yacht through Boatcrowd work?
You tell us which yacht interests you through the enquiry form on her listing. We confirm she is still available at the price shown, collect the documents the seller holds, and arrange a viewing wherever she is lying. From there the usual sequence is an offer subject to survey and sea trial, a deposit held in a client account, the survey and trial themselves, and then closing and registration. The Boatcrowd team coordinates each step and stays with you through it.
